Most of last questions are biased as they are formulated. Their order is made to make the reader get certain conclusions. I am pretty sure Riv didn't mean to carefully place them as such, just it was the moment that made him place them.
Example:
11) How times have KA outposts been attacked since May 1, 2006?
12) How many attacks have KA guilds done since May 1, 2006?
The normal order of these questions is:
How many attacks have KA guilds done in the X range?
How many attacks have the kamis done in the X range?
How many of the KA attacks were successful?
How many of the kami attacks were successful?
That's the logical and choronological order which leads to logical conclusions because the loser will have a target and the winner in some cases will hurry to take advantage in others will slow down as there was nothing to take anymore without attacking allies.
These are irrelevant questions and generally leading to flame wars:
14) How many times have Kamist guilds attacked the KA during the North American sleeping hours (2 am or 3 am in a North American timezone)?
15) How many times have KA guilds attacked during the European workday? (using GMT to GMT+4 standard timezones including daylight savings shift)
16) How many times have KA guilds during the European sleeping hours (2 am or 3 am in a European timezone)?
Generally wars started from hours good for everybody and finished by each faction setting their hours at their best time. If we want to argue endlessly "you! no, you!" we can, but it's meaningless and slightly kindergarteen-ish, at least for me. Both factions have both europeans and americans, and there is no control over all guilds to make them set times when RIv or me or dramina or anybody wants. People use their own criteria, that's the game. Everybody has 2 chances to set the hour so it's fair even if not excessively nice. Nowadays there isn't a single all european or all american guild on Atys I guess. If you really want time zone questions then better make them over a long range of time to see how social pressure weakened, and guilds composition enriched.
As all is based on statistics can be interesting to see development of factions over time. There are for example range of time when neutrals kept one or more OPs. How many neutral guilds active were in that range. They lost that (only one neutral OP remaining). How many neutral guilds remained active in 2 weeks after that, what about in a month?
There was a range of time when KA guilds got a majority of OPs. How many KA guilds at begining of time range, how many at the end, same for kami guilds.
I suggest rather adding some more interesting ones related to the civilisation of guilds detaining an OP, how much it has changed over time for example. How many times a war had any lore coverage? Can also see what guilds disbanded upon losing an OP. Can also see how much attention gets a q250 versus a q100, if/what mats produced by OPs get attention, aso.
I am very curious to see if my theory is real and the symbolical meaning of certain OPs is in players eyes more important than the mat produced. Also if the mirage of q250 is not more attractive than basical advantages of the mat produced in certain OPs.
There are new questions and old answers have changed in some cases.
